New Video: Apple VS RIMM....Who’s on Top?


A little over six weeks ago we released a video on the relationship between Apple and RIMM.

We called it the “Battle Of The Tech Titans,” and in that short video we explained that we felt the relationship was changing between Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ_AAPL) and Research In Motion, Ldt (NASDAQ_RIMM). I detailed a strategy of approaching this market using a trading strategy that I call “pair trading” or “trading pairs.”

What trading pairs means is that you buy one market while going short the other market in the same sector. Now Apple and RIMM are battling it out right now in the smart phone sector. It remains to be seen who is going to be triumphant in this battle but it would appear as though Apple may have the upper hand based on its very successful “APP” store.

Trading pairs is what many professionals do when they are unsure as to the direction of the general market but feel pretty comfortable in their analysis of the relationship between two stocks. I hope you find the video both informative and educational.

I suspect that these events will occur and for the lucky few who are prepared the rewards will be great.

Forex Cross Rates Updates June 25th

Last week we showed you how to analyze 13 forex cross-rates in less than 11 minutes. We thought it would be fun to go back and look at how this very quick analysis turned out.

Watch Video Here

Out of all the markets we analyzed in just 11 minutes, only five were in tune with our trade “Triangle Technology.” What this means is that both our daily and weekly “Trade Triangles” were in alignment indicating the direction for that particular cross.

We looked at the following cross rates on June 18th, 2010. The first number you see below is what that cross rate was trading at when we made the video last week:

USD/CAD was trading at 11335. Trade Triangles said to be long USD short CAD
Now trading at 11490, that’s a profit of 155 pips.

USD/NZD was trading at 5642. Trade Triangles said to be short USD long NZD
Now trading at 5533 this is a profit of 109 pips.

CAD/CHF was trading at 9578. Trade Triangles said to be short CAD long CHF
Now trading at 9531 this is a profit of 47 pips.

USD/CHF was trading at 10869. Trade Triangles said to be short USD long CHF
Now trading at 10952 for a loss of 83 pips.

Dollar Index play from 8034 when I made the video and is currently trading at 8023 for a gain of 11 pips.

Out of the five markets that showed the correct “Trade Triangle” configuration, 4 are profitable and 1 was showing a loss as of this writing.

Total Gain: 322 pips
Total Loss: 83 pips

Total Net: 239 pips

5 trades, 4 wins, 1 loss
80% win/loss ratio

3.87 pips gained for every pip lost

Now remember, we did this in just 11 minutes and we analyzed 13 cross rates. Now I’m not saying that it will always be like this and that you will always have this percentage of winners, but the reality is, if you trade using our “Trade Triangle” technology, are disciplined, diversified and follow the program… you will be a winner over time.

Lastly, all the forex quotes and “Trade Triangle” alerts for forex symbols and precious metals at MarketClub are realtime.

How to Use Money Management Stops Effectively


Stops are enormously important part of a traders arsenal of trading tools. Some traders confirm that stops are the most important part of their trading armour.

So here are three ways to use stops to protect your capital and lock in profits from a trade. These three money management techniques can be used in stock, futures and forex trading.

Click Here For A Video Version of This Lesson

The important rule is that you do use a real stop in the marketplace. A friend of mine joked with me that that he had never seen a “mental stop” filled electronically or in the pits.

If the market is good your stop will not be hit. If the market is bad or changing direction then you’ll want to be out of it anyway. That is why stops are so crucial to trading success.

Here are the three most commonly used types of stops. Which one do you use?
(1) Dollar stop.
(2) Percentage stop.
(3) Chart stop.
If you chose (1) you’d be correct, but, you would also be correct if you had chosen 2 or 3. All three are money management stops and are used to either lock in profits or protect capital.
————————————————–
1) A dollar stop, is when you set a predetermined dollar amount to a trade. Let’s say you want to risk $500 on a grain trade or $750 on a stock trade. Once you get your fill back from your broker or electronically online you simply figure from your fill price where to put your stop.

Pros: Easy to implement and use.
Cons: Can place stops too close in a volatile market
————————————————–
2) Percentage stop, is a very simple way for you to place a stop on a position. Here’s how it works. Let’s say your trading account is 100,000 dollars and let’s say you only want to risk 1% of your total portfolio on any one trade. You simply take a $1,000 risk which represents 1% of your over all portfolio. This can help enormously in avoiding taking BIG LOSSES. A 1% loss is easy to absorb. A 30% or 40% loss in a trade is an account killer, and should be avoided at all costs.

Pros: Easy to implement and use.
Cons: Can place stops too close.
————————————————–
3) Chart stop, a chart stop is where you place a stop that is either above or below a crucial chart level. The good thing about a chart stop is that this level is often used by other traders. That can both be a good thing and a bad thing, here’s why. Using either one of our first two examples only you know where the stop is. With a chart stop, a great many traders/brokers know that is where the stops are. In an illiquid market this type of stop should not be used, as many times brokers gun for the stops. In a highly liquid and active market this is a good stop to use.

Pros: Very easy to implement and use.
Cons: Can’t be used in thinly traded markets.
————————————————–
So there you have it. Now you have all three ways to manage your money and protect your profits in the future.

Use stops.....let them work for you.

New Video: "The S & P 500, A Conundrum Wrapped in an Enigma"

Let's take a look at this conundrum wrapped in an enigma.....that’s the S&P 500 index.

We were just looking at the S&P 500 index as we came to the close for the week of June 6th. While the market appears to be higher for the week, it also appears that we’re losing momentum on the upside.

This can be seen in the second attempt to close over the 950 level. Also some of our momentum indicators are showing negative divergences. This means that while the S&P 500 is making new highs for the move, the momentum indicators are not showing the same configuration and making new highs. This can often be the first clue of a potential market correction.

In this short video on the S&P 500, you’ll will see exactly what we are looking at and why.

Markets Hit New Multi Month Highs


The U.S. stock indexes closed firmer today in quieter trading. The indexes hit new multi month highs as the bulls are "climbing a wall of worry" in the market place. Do not be surprised to see a more consolidating trade in the stock indexes, heading into the summer months, when traders focus more on family vacations and outdoor activities.

August gold futures closed up $1.90 at $981.90 today. Prices closed near mid range again today. The market got some more support from a weaker U.S. dollar today. However, the gold market bulls may be getting exhausted as prices approach $1,000.00 an ounce. Gold bulls still have the near term technical advantage. Prices are in a seven week old uptrend on the daily bar chart.

Today’s Stock Market Club Trading Triangles

July crude oil closed up $0.15 at $68.73 a barrel today. Prices closed near the session high and hit another fresh 6 1/2 month high today. Crude oil bulls have the solid near term technical advantage. The "money game" in the commodity markets continues, whereby funds are flowing into commodities with crude oil leading the way. A six week old uptrend is in place on the daily bar chart.

Markets Set To Soar, GM Officially Declares Bankruptcy


Markets are shrugging off the General Motors news, which was already baked in, and more interested in the higher income numbers reported this morning. Some how this market will be forced to digest the unemployment numbers that will come from the announcement of GM plant closures.

Day traders are playing nothing but bullish set ups this morning in the SP 500 as the bears are getting ripped, there just is not any sellers going into the open. With the 50% retracement broken over night at 933 the next target looks like 954. The trend is bullish for day traders until a long set up fails.

Stochastics and the RSI are bullish for the SP 500 signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. From a broad perspective, June needs to close above 929.00 or below 875.40 to clear up near term direction in the market.

Monday's pivot point, our line in the sand is 916.25

1st resistance is 930
2nd resistance is 941.75

1st support is 904.50
2nd support is 891

Our weekly pivot point for the SP 500 is 896

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The June NASDAQ 100 was higher overnight and trading above the previous reaction high crossing at 1437.75 thereby renewing this week's rally. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If June extends this spring's rally, weekly resistance crossing at 1496.25 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 1395.97 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is the overnight high crossing at 1458.25
Second resistance is weekly resistance crossing at 1496.25

First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 1395.96
Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1342.75

The June NASDAQ 100 was up 14.25 points. at 1450.25 as of 6:02 AM CST. Overnight action sets the stage for a higher opening by June NASDAQ 100 when the day session begins later this morning.
